The UK has become what is known as a ‘surveillance society’ in such that there are millions of CCTV cameras that could capture our image 300 times in a day. It has become more widely used due to security and privacy threats and it has now become an essential and accepted mechanism to observe people’s behaviour.

This course will focus on surveillance being used for monitoring the actions of people of interest. It could be used for a wide number of issues such as to detect cases of fraud, or for looking into personal issues such as adultery.

The course will aim to show the fundamentals of covert surveillance, which is used to gather evidence towards some form of a ‘case’. It will focus on the use of foot and mobile surveillance, as well as including general points which you need to know.
